An Unfortunate brewer.

From Mr.. j. p Keener we learn
the following of the misfortunes Of
an Ohio stock dealer who is well
known to Mr.. Keener. The facts are
about as follows: William Curry,
of Chester, Morgan county, Ohio,
has been a stock dealer for number
of years and has made some money,
but of late tickle fortune is against
him. His first mishap was in Park
ersburg some time ago where he was
robbed of $500. Later his house was
entirely destroyed by fire. To cap
the climax he went with his brother
in-law, Charles Warner, to Baltimore
last week with drove of horses. A
part of them were sold and Warner
started home carrying $4,000 of the
proceeds in his pocket. From Graf
ton he telegraphed back to Balti-
more to Curry that he had been rob-
bed of every cent of the money.
Whether true or not most likely the
loss will fall upon Curry. The lat
ter has much sympathy among those
who know him.

he invented the cotton gin, for clean
ing the seed from cotton by hand Is
very slow and tedious work. 1t
used to be thought that cotton seed
was Of no value, but now there are
to be found cotton seed oil mills all
through the South for manufacture
ing cotton seed oil and oil cake.
Every bushel of cotton seed finds
ready sale at good price. Three
prominent features of the South are
cotton, darkies and mules. Mules
in the South are used almost exclu-
sively for draft purposes and horses
for riding and driving.
The southern people are warm
hearted, generous and kind. They
have not the energy and enterprise
of the northern people but what they
lack in that respect they make up
in hospitality. You can always tell
true southerner, no matter where
you meet him, by the way he dis
cards the use of the letter r. He
does not seem to have any use for
the letter except at the beginning
of a word. Such expressions as
"befow the waw" and "yondow
comes youw cav (car)," are sure
signs by which you can detect a
southerner. There are few other
expressions, such as "done finished
it." "done gone" &c, that are not
quite so beautiful but equally as
strong proof that he halls from the
land Of Dixie.

The Black Bottle to Be Built.

Our people will learn with pleas
ure that negotiations are now pend
ing that will probably result in the
completion of the Black Bottle rail
road. To what extent the matter
has been carried is unknown at this
time, but that an effort is being
made in that direction there is no
doubt. Among other probabilities
it may be mentioned that branch
Of the Ohio River road is talked of
to penetrate in this direction to
Clarksbnrg and If that should be
accomplished it will connect with
the West Virginia and continue to
the Pennsylvania line where it will
be met by the Southwest. 1t may
require several months to get the
late difficulties on the Black Bottle
cleared away and the work begun
over, but we predict that it will be
done.

Don't

let that cold of yours run on. You
think it is a light thing. But it
may run into catarrh. Or into pneu-

Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumo-

death itself
The breathing apparatus must be
kept healthy and clear of all OBJ

Otherwise there is trouble ahead.

When did we understand you to
say the Atheneum would be issued?
Somehow we got the impression that
it was to come out the latter part of
last week. However, we hope to see
the first number of the paper of un-
pronouncable name and untranslata-
BILE motto before many days.
Not long since the people of the
ATHENS of West Virginia" voted on
the question whether or not hogs
should be allowed to promenade the
streets unmolested. Vote resulted
1877 in favor of Master Pigs rights
and 80 against. Verify this is an
age of progress.
The town council opened their
hearts and pocketbooks and convert
ed the board walk to the University
into one of coal ashes. These ashes
not being compact of course are not
favorable to nicely BACKED shoes.
Hence, if you would follow student
to his room after he passes over the
walk and listen as he seizes his shoe
brush, you might hear some expires
sions not usually taught in Sunday
School.
There has been some talk among
the boys of organizing a club some
what on the plan of the "Waverly."
This strikes us as being wise
measure for then we will get to "trip
the light fantastic" occasionally, to
which we never object.
Since the State has failed to ap-
propriate money for the improvement
of the grounds, the commandment has
hit on a scheme entirely original to
fix up the newly purchased addition.
The cadets are marched on the hunt
of grasshoppers over the ground,
which is thickly matted with run
ming briars. When one of these
ferocious animals is spied out by the
scouts there is grand maneuvre
and a general charge, which ends in
the capture of the grass hopper and
the destruction of quite patch of
briars.
Prof Lorentz is absent aud Brown
hears some of his classes. IT'S said
that Brown is already becoming
bald.
Lindemuth has returned to school
but not being able to resume work
will go away in few days and will
not come back before the winter
term.
At mite society recently the
ladies were conspicuously absent.
We learn that there were eighteen
young men and four young ladies.
One young man absentmindedly left
without bidding his hostess good
night, and it was only by great urg-
ing that the boys prevailed on him
to return and discharge this little
duty of etiquette. The first letter
of his name is Mathena.

s., please give the three laws of New

The Hog Election.

A vote was taken in the borough
of Morgantown on Saturday last
upon the question of adopting an Or

the town. The vote stood for rejec-
ton of the proposed ordinance 1873;
for adoption 80; so the hog pen
stays and Slime is happy.

HooD-We extend our sincere con

Quite a large number of the young
folks, chiefly the members and pros
pective members of the Young Peo-

were invited to social at Judge
Dille's last evening. The assem-

they spent the evening profitably
and pleasantly in social intercourse.
This society bids fair to become an
important factor in church circles
here. 1t is certainly increasing in
membership and will do much good.
